Ten senior citizens aged 60 to 71 participated in a soap-making workshop using recycled materials through the technical and vocational education and training programme organised by the Pusat Aspirasi Anak Perak .
The senior lecturer from the Faculty of Applied Sciences said senior citizens often lack activities post-retirement, and by participating in such workshops, they can acquire new knowledge and potentially generate income by selling the soap they produce. Adibatul Husna said the programme’s modules included safety ethics, methods for making dishwashing and laundry soap and techniques for producing soap from powdered milk, used oil or organic materials.
A participant, Rafidah Mohd Idris, 66, from Ayer Kuning here, said she has been making soap from recycled materials for the past two years but was interested in joining the workshop to gain knowledge about producing various types of soap.
